If I were counterfeiting, I'd put the later part number on it. Already covered. You counterfeit a MAX232. Then notice the customers wants the newer MAX232A. So you changes the marking to MAX232A. Then you suddenly ship chips that requires the larger caps but the suckers who buys the chip thinks it's ok with the smaller caps. Remember that people stealing untested chips or counterfeiting don't care about ethics. It isn't about working well. It's about receiving money. |
